This reminds me of when I was in school, and went to a friend's house.
I love pizza, I think I always have. My friend, at the time, says that his mum makes great pizza and she can make some for us. "Oh cool, yeah sure I'd love some thanks".
She sliced some cheese. She put the cheese onto a slice of bread. She then microwaved it until the cheese melted. Then she... Squirted ketchup on it. Called this pizza.
It's been over 20 years and I still think about this. Why would he do this.
pooooooooooooooooooooooooooor
That's the thing, he very much was not. His family founded and still fully owns a successful private and NHS dentistry in the local area... It boggles the mind.
See, this makes me think one of two things: Either she couldn't make anything more complex (or couldn't be bothered to.... Take your pick), or she knew it was "good enough" for her kid, and didn't care to spend any more money on making him a "pizza". Because let's face it, a slice of bread, a slice of cheese and a squirt of ketchup is really inexpensive. The most costly thing there is the slice of cheese.
Rich people can be cheap... In fact, that's usually how they become rich.
